Once the clear coat starts to peel - the only thing you can really do is strip it all off with a Chemical remover and polish the wheels. If you do this, you will have to really keep them waaxed amd polished to prevent corrosion.

Try this stuff:

Mar-Hyde Tal-Strip II Aircraft Coating Remover - 3713

Check out this for some how-to:

Heres another tip - once you have them polished, ditch the wheel weights - you dont need them. Get some balancing beads:
